CARL HANSEN Hans Wegner CH 445 Wingchair

At the Carl Hansen & Son Factory in Aarup, Denmark, the only chairs produced are those that were designed by Hans J. Wegner. Although the plant has been outfitted with the latest in high quality machinery, the furniture crafted there is still made according to traditional manners by a staff of highly dedicated people. "The Wingchair is designed for seating, not just great looks, and it greets its guests with exceptionally generous comfort. “You don’t sit on the CH 445,“ says Knud Erik Hansen, “you sit in it. That is when you discover that the groove of the back recesses the upholstery at shoulder level – and at just the right angle. Sitting upright is more than easy. But should you decide to curl up your legs or lay them over the armrest, you discover that the angle of the corners of the back provides just the right head support. Being able to change positions in a chair has always been a foundation of Wegner’s ergonomics; designing a chair that combines form and function so beautifully his genius.”
